Endovascular Ablation of the Right Greater Splanchnic Nerve in Subjects Having HFpEF
Endovascular Ablation of the Right Greater Splanchnic Nerve in Subjects Having Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction: Randomized Controlled Feasibility Trial - The Rebalance HF Study

Conditions
Summary
The purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate the safety and early effectiveness of a catheter-based procedure that treats a nerve called the right greater splanchnic nerve. The study includes people who have heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). The goal is to learn whether this procedure, performed using the Satera Ablation System, may help improve symptoms and to better understand which patients may benefit most from this treatment in the future.

Interventions
The greater splanchnic nerve (GSN) ablation procedure begins with a small needle puncture in the groin or neck to access a vein, using methods that are commonly used for heart procedures. Doctors then guide thin tubes and wires through the vein to reach a nerve called the right greater splanchnic nerve. X-ray imaging is used to help the doctor see where the catheter is and guide it to the correct location. Once the catheter is in the right place, the doctor uses the device to treat the nerve using controlled heat.
During the sham procedure, a small needle puncture will be made in the groin or neck to access a vein using standard medical techniques. A short tube will be placed into the vein, similar to what is done for many heart procedures. The Satera catheter and treatment devices will not be inserted, and the nerve will not be treated. The procedure will take about the same amount of time as the treatment procedure.
